Bowman, 69, enthusiastically agreed, showing her support for the idea and playfully teasing her son about the potential success of the show. Despite Anderson’s light-hearted concern about his mother’s outspokenness affecting the show’s longevity, Bowman confidently predicted at least eight successful seasons if the talk show were to come to fruition.

Anderson cherishes the memory of his mother showcasing her singing talent in a Parisian jazz club, while Bowman takes pride in her triumphs on the runway at African Fashion Week and her unexpected prowess in skeet shooting.
Anderson also discussed his mother’s perseverance and sacrifices to support his career. He revealed that she had initially aspired to pursue her own dreams in the entertainment industry before becoming a young mother. In creating “Trippin’ With,” Anderson aimed to repay his mother for all the sacrifices she made.

Showing his dedication to supporting the aspirations of the next generation, Anderson shared his pride in his 23-year-old son, Nathan.
